Product Description

Review
"Looking for a new method for murder (literary of course)? Then this may be the book for you. Wynn has arranged it in encyclopedic fashion, beginning with Accidents (contrived) and working through various types of poisons, blunt instruments, and stabbing until ending up with Throat - cutting. Each of the sections is carefully subdivided for ease of use. . . . Wynn next supplies a second alphabetical list (Adipocere to Voice prints); this time about methods of detection. This amounts to a mini course in crime scene investigation and evidence processing. Finally there is a section on "other aspects of crime" including bits on police procedure and certain peculiarities of the UK legal system. Again, real life examples are offered. There is a bibliography of non-fiction works and an index. An interesting and useful addition to the reference shelf." -- Reviewingtheevidence.com

Product Description
In alphabetical order this book shows how to commit murder, listing more than 60 ways from accident (contrived) to throat-cutting. It also explains what the victim and the murder scene will look like, and what clues give the game away. Chapters on police procedures, what happens in the courtroom and post-mortems will help lend convincing detail.

4.0 out of 5 stars I know how to kill you now..., 30 Sep 2000
By A Customer
A comprehensive ABC of how to kill off your characters. Includes methods of murder, and methods of detection to ensure you definitely know what you're talking about when you poison a favourite uncle with belladonna, or deliver a swift karate chop to the front of a spy's neck (in print, of course!)Clearly and concisely written, a method a page, this is a value-for-money book you'll never regret adding to your bookshelves.
